Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CMS), an animal model of depression, downregulates hippocampal CB1 receptors in adult male rats. Given that endocannabinoids are implicated in modulating stress and anxiety and that women are vulnerable to stress-related disorders, we tested the effects of CMS on both female and male rats. Gonadectomized (gndx) and… (More)

In this paper we shall examine reflection of singularities of solutions of first-order equations of the form in a region 9 with boundary given by y=O; say 9 = X a9. Here G = G (y) = G (y , x , 0,) is a smooth one-parameter family of pseudo-differential operators of order one on a 9, G (y) E PS(1); u takes on values in a vector space, @, and G is a k X k… (More)

We show that, if U is the representation of SOe(n+1, 1) on L 2 (S n) given by (2.11), and P is a bounded operator on L 2 (S n), then P belongs to OP S 0 1,0 (S n) if and only if P (g) = U(g)P U(g) −1 is a C ∞ function on SOe(n + 1, 1) with values in the Banach space L(L 2 (S n)).

Steroid-mediated sexual differentiation of the brain is a developmental process that permanently organizes the brain into a male or female phenotype. Previous studies in the rodent have examined the steroid-mediated mechanisms of male brain development. In an effort to identify molecules involved in female brain development, a high-throughput proteomics… (More)

Discrete numerical approximations with additional conserved quantities are developed here both for barotropic geophysical flows generalizing the 2D incompressible fluid equations and suitable discretizations of the Burgers-Hopf equation. Mathematical, numerical, and statistical properties of these approximations are studied below in various different… (More)

To predict the location of natural resources and reduce the cost of exploration, geophysicists rely on various techniques to map the internal structure of the earth. One common mapping method probes the earth's interior using an acoustic energy source (sound waves). The acoustic waves reeect when they impinge on a location where the acoustic velocity eld… (More)
